The four types of 1878 silver dollars are the 1878 (Type 1) with the reverse of a seated Liberty, the 1878 (Type 2) featuring an 8-tail feather design, the 1878 (Type 3) with a 7-tail feather design, and the 1878 (Type 4) which also has the 7-tail feather but with a slightly different design. These variations are primarily based on the number of feathers on the eagle's tail on the reverse side of the coin. Each type represents different design changes made during the early production of the Morgan silver dollar series. Collectors often seek these coins for their historical significance and design differences.
